Lynne Pettit led a great discussion on “Great Work, Great Career” and developing the soft skills necessary to succeed in business. From the notes I took, there are a few things that stuck out to me including: the fact that I’m worried about getting a job is a strength, adhering to basic principles will bring results, you can’t do anything in life without a support group, and a sincere desire to learn about someone else is very important. All of these principles we discussed I want to use in my Leadership Taxonomy because I feel they are very important to developing good leadership qualities. After a very nice pizza lunch, we returned back to the hotel and were able to have a great exercise practicing interviewing. The main things I took away from this include: keeping my hands over my knees while maintaining good posture, always leaving a thank you note, have questions for my interviewer, and make sure I am memorable through the stories I use. Dominique did a very fun presentation about good interviewing techniques and he has a unique way of teaching. This whole day was very important because I was able to learn from experts about the basic principles I will need to get my foot into the business world. I really appreciate Shannon, Stacey, Krystn, and Lynne and everything they do to help me become better and more ready for my future. I’m very lucky to learn from them.
